  • ''Space mining equipment probably bears no resemblance to earth mining equipment - we're not going to have drills and conveyor belts because you're dealing in a completely different environment,'' he explained.

    ''There's nothing about the laws of physics that says this can't be done and we're just working to create that,'' he said.
